No.
The bolt pattern is wrong. GM 5-bolt pattern is 5 x 4.75", your S197 Mustang is 5 x 4.50".
Even if the bolt circle did match, the offset might be a little too much positive. The 18 x 9.5" wide SVT wheels which should fit are only 45 mm offset. The 9 mm would show up as having that much less clearance on the strut side.
Keep in mind that 275/40-17 tires are more than an inch shorter than any of the OE Mustang tires . . .

OEM 17x8s are 45mm offset....
OEM18x8.5s are 50mm offset...
I know as I have the 16s, 17s, and 18s in front of me....
Are you sure SVT 18x9.5s are not 50mm offset???
